Russia/Eurasia in World Context: A Dialogue with European Studies
http://programs.ssrc.org/eurasia/Title8_Dissertation_Workshops/Princeton_09/
May 1-3, 2009
Co-sponsored by Princeton University's Institute for International and
Regional Studies (PIIRS) and Russian and Eurasian Studies Program
Application Deadline: January 22, 2009
THE EURASIA PROGRAM of the Social Science Research Council, in
partnership with Princeton University's Institute for International
and Regional Studies (PIIRS) and Russian and Eurasian Studies Program,
invites applications for a three-day dissertation development workshop
that crosses area studies boundaries, encourages interdisciplinarity,
and explores continuities, connections and contrasts across the
Eurasian and European regions. The geographic and conceptual overlap
between Eurasia and Europe invites questions about the very
definitions of the regions themselves and the institutions and
identities that comprise them.
The workshop will investigate commonalities, as well as differences
and pitfalls, in research agendas and frameworks, and develop new
questions through juxtapositions of the two intersecting regions.
Topics would range from interpretive categories (empire, nation, the
state, power, gender, ethnicity, modernism, modernity,
authoritarianism, democracy) to transnational processes (development,
trade, governance, private corporations, corruption, water, oil,
migration, environment, health, disease, terrorism, science,
information technology, languages, diasporas, cultural exchange, war).
Discussions will focus on what does, or does not, link Russia/Eurasia
with Europe, the historical relationships between the regions, and the
ways these regions are constructed in scholarly and public discussions.
Funding is provided by the United States Department of State, Program
for Research and Training for Eastern Europe and the Independent
States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII) and by Princeton
University Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS)
and its Russian and Eurasian Studies Program.
